We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over(被迫停車(chē)). A middle-aged policeman came up to the ear and was really being troublesome at first. He said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. Then his way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it.
Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes. " So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn' t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Then the policeman put Tim in the back of the police car and threw the car into reverse(倒車(chē)), stopping a few feet in back of our car.
Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison. Suddenly, the policeman's voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90." Later we knew, the policeman had told Tim that if he sang one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car, we would get out of the ticket. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
小題1:Why did the policeman stop the boys?
A．Because they drove too fast.
B．Because they were late for their show.
C．Because they didn't see the policeman.
D．Because they had to answer the band questions.
小題2:The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they ______.
A．had long been at the band
B．played the music he loved
C．were driving for a show
D．promised him a performance

D．orders you to pay money because you have done something wrong
小題4:How did the boys probably feel when they went on their way again?

B．Calm.
C．Angry.
D．Frightened.

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:B

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔術(shù)般）appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (門(mén)廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
小題1:Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer     .
A．to show his magical powerB．to pay for the delivery
C．to satisfy his curiosityD．to please his mother
小題2:What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?
A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a respectable person.
C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family.
小題3:Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．It has been driven out of the market.
C．Its service is getting poor.D．It is forbidden by law.
小題4:Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A．He missed the good old days.B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C．He needed it for his milk bottles.D．He planted flowers in it.

Gary Locke, 61, who comes from a Chinese background and even looks Chinese, became the new US ambassador（大使）to China.
“I can think of nobody who is more qualified than Gary Locke.” President Obama said. Locke’s new position is clearly a sign that US President is trying to improve relations with China.

“I don’t believe in Santa Claus!” Trogmire announced.
Tremor looked shocked. “Why not?” he asked.
“Because he never leaves me any gifts at all,” Trogmire growled.
Tremor thought about the evidence for a few seconds. “Maybe,” he suggested, “it’s because when Santa checked his list, your name wasn’t in the ‘nice’ column.”
“So, he could at least bring me a lump of coal!” Trogmire replied. “And,” he went on, “Troubled doesn’t believe in Santa, either.”
“Right,” Tremor said, “because he saw his parents putting the ‘From Santa’ presents under the tree. But I know the truth about that. My mother found out from Troubled’s mother. When Troubled’s parents got an e-mail from Santa, saying that he would never bring Troubled another gift, they didn’t want to tell him the truth. So now they buy presents and pretend they’re from Santa.”
“What did Troubled do to get Santa so mad?” Trogmire questioned.
“I think it had something to do with the time he put glue paper all over the living room floor on Christmas Eve, and left a sign that said, ‘Trapped like a rat!’ hanging over the fireplace.” said Tremor.
“I guess Santa doesn’t have a sense of humour,” sighed Trogmire. “Well, at least I’m not the only one who Santa scratched off his name list.”
小題1:Why doesn’t Santa leave presents for Trogmire or Troubled?
A．Their parents won’t let him leave gifts.B．He can’t find their homes.
C．He often forgets their names.D．They have behaved badly.
小題2:Trogmire and Troubled don’t believe in Santa because ________.
A．Santa has no sense of humorB．Santa doesn’t give them anything
C．they are too naughty to believeD．Tremor convinced them he wasn’t real
小題3:Troubled’s parents never ________.
A．told him about the message from SantaB．loved him very much
C．cared about how he behavedD．bought him anything
小題4:Trogmire’s last comment could be an example of the saying _______.
A．Misery(苦難,不幸) loves company B．Easy come, easy go
C．Beauty is only skin deepD．Love me, love my dog
